Year 6

Welcome to a new school year!

Hello Year 6,

Welcome back to school - we are thrilled to have you back after what has seemed like a very long time. You were missed. The school you have returned to may be a little bit different but we know that you will get used to the new routines in no time. We hope that you are ready for the challenges of Year Six, as well as all the fun that we will have together. In Year 6, we believe in the motto 'Work Hard, Play Hard, Be Kind'.

On this page we will celebrate the awesome work you have been doing in school, share homework, class routines and also some extra activities that you may like to do at home. Plus any other exciting things that we just want to share with you. Don't forget to explore the activities on Google Classroom. 
​
Now let's get started!

Take care, Miss D and Mr S

Important Information
HOMEWORK
Homework will be given out on a Friday and is due in the following Wednesday. It will focus on SPAG and maths topics covered during the week. The children will be able to choose the challenge that they want to do - it may revisit something they found tricky; consolidate their learning so they feel confident or extend their learning on to something a little bit more challenging. 
​
PE KITS
UPDATE
